so i have a spider mite problem. sure i've identified the source (dirty dirty clones) but because i runna perpetual garden things are getting tough.

i have a 4x4x 5 1/2 closet style room with a 400w hps, ocilating fan, extraction fan etc. temps stay 73f-79f. right now i have 6 clones at 4 weeks flower (about 2 1/2 ft) and they have dasterdly mites (but still look beautiful and are still putting on weight).

so i did my research and about 3 1/2 weeks ago (half week into flower) introduced predator mites, which can take roughly 2 weeks to get into full effect. i see them all over doin their thing killing and slurping the inside of the bad mites, doing good things. but its not fast enough and it hasn't killed them off completly yet. so i was gonna let some ladybugs loose and try to keep stuff in check but i'm thinking mites are too small for the lady bugs to eat, at least the adult lady bugs.

i also have a veg box with roughly 18 banana kush babies that have yet to be sexed. a few showed a little sign of mite damage so i also released predator mites and the preadtor mites have been kicking ass.
a list of what i used...
1. "don't bug me" foxfarm bug spray can be used till day of harvest.
2. neem oil. altrenated "don't bug" with neem during veg but stopped using both during flower. (never smoke neem buds)
3. preadator mites
4. lady bugs
whatelse can be done? thought about givin the bloom room the mitebomb before i put my kush's in (but after i harvest the clones). figure i'll just end up cleaning my herb when i give it the chop. would a water cure help clean it in the end if the bugs don't get under control?

open to all helping hands!
